OMG, do NOT remove that second cover!!! You should get 2 grades. One for the outer and one for the inner cover. Congratulations, those are cool books to have  |

Quote:Originally Posted by KatKomics @KatKomics - Assigned grade is always based on the inner cover. On top of that, multiple cover books (copies also turn up with three or even more) tend to fetch a premium over a single cover book in the same grade. In other words: A) Let's say you get a CBCS 9.4 for your book (I don't think you'll pull a 9.6, corners are not sharp enough - but yeah, maybe if you're willing to pony up for a press). B) The same book also graded CBCS 9.4 with a single cover will typically sell for quite a bit less than yours. I know this because double covers often turn up as outliers in our Nostomania sales data processing code. |

| I'm just glad this lot turned out ok. 15 books for $89 CAD with shipping. 13 are basically bin worthy.Photos were horrible but saw 2 books [not this one] that looked interesting so I took a chance. Wanted the 'My Greatest Adventures 81' to pan out but only a reader - this book though will pay for the whole lot and then some I think. | ||

Quote:Originally Posted by Deadpoolica Wrong, if the book has an interior cover grade if 9.4, but has a coupon clipped on page four. Your absolutely not going to get a blue 9.4. The book will either be qualified or downgraded to a 1.0. |

| I've been collecting for a long time- thousands of books- never got a double cover. I'd leave it as is |

| Yeah. I saw an FF #4 across the street last night sent to a mystery presser that wound up with a chuck out of it and what looks like waves. | ||

| I collect double covers, and pay more for them than I would for a single cover of the same issue. I have several from all ages. Keep it double cover, for sure. |

| I wouldn't mind adding one to my collection. A friend has found 2 in the wild and purchased some online. I think he has about a dozen or so. |

Quote:Originally Posted by CFP_Comics Still figuring what books to send for pressing but dare I say CFP is on my radar? Need to research a bit more about what pressing/cleaning can really do on a few of my books (one looks like ink smudges on cover and interior - seem a few examples on the web that seem like this can be fixed?) |

| I highly recommend CFP or CBCS pressing service. I have used both and have been very pleased with the results. | ||
